Seth Mandel, Senior Editor of Commentary Magazine, on his recent piece "As the Hamas Narrative Disintegrates, Can Its Devotees Rejoin Reality?" and the role of language in shaping public opinion and the ways in which certain words, like "genocide" and "massacre," are used to create a particular narrative around the Israel-Palestine conflict. They also touch on the idea that the use of these words can be a form of intellectual dishonesty, used to avoid engaging with the complexities of the issue and to create a sense of moral certainty. They also talk about the attempted terrorist attack that was thwarted earlier today involving FlyDubai Flight FZ 1073.

Seth discusses the recent attempted hijacking of FlyDubai Flight FZ 1073, where passengers and crew members bravely thwarted an attempted crash of the flight by one of the pilots, saving the lives of nearly 180 people on board. He also discusses the media's tendency to downplay the incident, using phrases like "altercation" and "struggle" to describe the violent act, rather than acknowledging it for what it was; terrorism. Seth ponders what would have happened if the hijacking was successful? Listener call-in’s on the bravery of the passengers who attacked the hijacker in mid-air and Iranian intelligence services in hiding in the United States.

Hugh Hallman, Attorney, Educator, and former Mayor of Tempe, joins Seth in studio for the full hour with his son Louis to explain the intricacies of inflation, government policies, and the impact on everyday people. The current economic problems we face today are being misattributed to the wrong presidential administration. The trio discuss that the massive increase in inflation during the Biden era was a direct result of the massive spending and money printing that occurred during that time. They also touch on the concept of "sticky" prices and how they're influenced by cumulative inflation. The conversation also explores the unintended consequences of government policies, such as the corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards, which have led to the homogenization of car designs and the rise of sport utility vehicles (SUV's). They also discuss the importance of understanding the difference between real and perceived inflation, and how people's memories and perceptions can be misled by short-term economic fluctuations.
